We have had ours done with ATS

Mr. Tyre as Kwik-Fit were too expensive anyway, exactly the same product at £30 more.

i did not want cheap tyres or the most expensive,mid range was fine.i went for brigestone SF 226,kwikfit were £10 per tyre more expensive for the same tyre.saved a total of £30 on three shopping round.and got them fitted on the drive and balanced.

E-Tyres replaces two caravan tyres for me with Tyrons fitted and they charged £10 a wheel extra. It did take two attempts as the first time they did not have the special spider clamp to remove the bands but they were back two days later with the correct kit and did the job.

 At last a honest tyre fitter, as you say as long as you have the allan key 10 to 15 minutes longer, Hometyres quoted me £77 pound for tyres, as soon as told them i had Tyron bands they said the price was £95 pounds £18 pound each wheel to refit the Tyron band, they must have thought i had just stepped off the Banana boat, i will leave you to guess what my answer was.

Yes I had the same response from Kwik-Fit recently and a couple of others companies too when phoning round for quotes. The garages that would change tyres with wheels that have Tyron Bands fitted wanted to charge an extra £50 for the privelage but as I haven't got them fitted I just paid the £150 for the fitting of a new pair of Avon tyres and balancing from Mr. Tyre as Kwik-Fit were too expensive anyway, exactly the same product at £30 more.
